Can anyone explain why my mind may work this way?

I’ve noticed a talent for being very organized when I am on the phone or even talking to someone on the phone. I can look at something and it will take me 2 to 3 times as long to organize it if I am looking at it and trying to do it with no distractions.
However, put a phone in my hand or have someone follow me while I’m trying to organize a closet or drawers or cabinets and suddenly I can look around and place everything in a proper spot and even picture what will fit where with just a passing glance.
Are there any flutherites that are the same way?
Have you figured out why this is so?
My only thoughts right now is that perhaps with all the years of having to multi-task things with children in tow, that I have trained my mind to be more efficient when there are distractions.
